Abstract

Kentucky’s Targeted Interventions (TI) program is a statewide intervention intended to prepare non-college-ready high school students for college-level coursework. Using a difference-in-regression discontinuity design, we find that TI reduces the likelihood that students enroll in remedial courses by 8 to 10 percentage points in math. These effects are similar or stronger among students who are eligible for free/reduced-price lunch, students with remediation needs in multiple subjects, and students in lower performing schools. TI also increases the likelihood that students enroll in and pass college math before the end of the first year in 4-year universities by 4 percentage points and by 9 percentage points among free/reduced-price lunch eligible students. However, we do not find evidence of TI affecting credit accumulation or persistence.

准备上大学了吗？高中有针对性干预的有效性研究

肯塔基州的目标干预(TI)计划是一项全州范围的干预计划，旨在为未准备上大学的高中生准备大学水平的课程。使用回归差异不连续设计，我们发现TI将学生参加补习课程的可能性降低了8到10个百分点。这些影响在有资格享受免费/减价午餐的学生、需要多科目补习的学生和成绩较差学校的学生中也类似或更强。TI还提高了学生在四年制大学第一学年结束前注册并通过大学数学考试的可能性，提高了4个百分点，在免费/减价午餐合格学生中提高了9个百分点。然而，我们没有发现TI影响信用积累或持久性的证据。
